Couldn't be happier

[LSaupe 123]

Good Morning All:

Just got down from a fabulous morning flight and some short field practice.

I gotta say that I couldn't be happier with this plane. She performs magnificently in the air and on the ground.  Thanks again for all the help and feedback putting her together (and some of the mod suggestions). {First flight was October 21st, and now have 10 hours on her}.

In a nutshell, she is a 582 Model III, with a wide body kit, Model IV doors, Model IV Rudder and Vertical Stab, lengthened elevator, Highwing LLC bush gear and Matco 8" tailwheel.  Can't think of one thing I don't like on her (well, maybe the rudder/brake pedals, but we are working on that thanks to Doug H.).

Nice pics, I love flying down the Finger Lakes. Is that the Edinburg bridge on Great Scandaga?

Yep, it sure is.  It's actually a new bridge (they replaced the old one a year or so ago).  Much higher and a bit wider now, plus with a sidewalk.
